Starring as 'Miranda Tate' in one of the year's most anticipated movies, The Dark Knight Rises, Marion Cotillard has rightfully taken her place in the spotlight, covering not one, but two issues of Vogue (Paris and US), as well as covers for Marie Claire UK, WSJ (Wall Street Journal Magazine) & Madame Figaro for July/August 2012. Of these five, I favored the editorials from Vogue US and WSJ Magazine, which reflect the enigmatic theme of the movie, without undermining the natural beauty and grace of the Parisian-born actress.
 |
| On the cover of the August 2012 issue of American Vogue, Marion is dashing in a twilight blue velvet pants-suit by Ralph Lauren. The styling for this editorial takes on a wintry spell, with rich velvets in stormy jewel tones. |
 |
| The winter must-have luxury trench coat, in quilted navy blue velvet by Burberry Prorsum. Her gold-trimmed heels are by Ralph Lauren. |
 |
| The Parisian-born actress dons an off-the-shoulder silk chiffon blouse by Salvatore Ferragamo with slick black hat by Maison Michel. |
 |
| Marion displays the sumptuousness of red velvet in this ruby 3-piece suit by Ralph Lauren. |
 |
| My favourite from all the outfits, a textured black velvet and embroidered tulle bustier gown by McQ Alexander McQueen. With the ankle-strap heels straight off the runway. |
WSJ Magazine
 |
| For WSJ or The Wall Street Journal, Marion is pictured in opulent designer wear from the Fall 2012 collections, with a focus on red and black. She graces the cover in a sultry black tulle embroidered gown with floral appliqués by Gucci. |
 |
| A modernistic tri-coloured ensemble by Balenciaga, with angled strapless neckline, digital animal print waistband and red silk skirt. |
 |
| A striking combination of rouge and coal - Marion wears a slinky black bustier gown by Bottega Veneta, hedged by an oversized red Jil Sander coat. |
 |
| The Academy Award winning actress is bewitching in a wool Bottega Veneta dress, enveloped by a black bolero in shredded black chiffon. Dark makeup and slick leather gloves that add to the overall introspective tone of the editorial. |
Which editorial do you prefer, Vogue or WSJ?

Isn't she stunning?!! Too difficult to decide between the two, but I'm leaning toward WSJ. Although I'd do just about ANYTHING for that Burberry P. trench!! LOVE it!

I LOVE Miranda Tate (admitedly i fell in love after Inception) but I had no idea she was in Dark Knight Rises (can I really call myself a fan then!?) Such a gorgeous post hun.

Hi sweetie, great post. Both editorials are stunning but I think as predictable as it may be, Vogue has the edge! She looks gorgeous in every picture! :)
Take care, Daniella xox
Wow that floral lace dress is stunning, definately WSJ! I liked her in Inception, have you seen that movie?
I've been great, I was busy working while you were on holiday and now it's my turn :) What kind of magazines do you have?
Concerning your comment on my blog, yeah, 16 degrees probably sounds cold for you, but during daytime here we do have around 20 degrees, so it's okay. Of course we're waiting for warmer days, but it might be that this summer in whole Northen Europe will stay like this. Such a huge difference from last year, when we had around 35 degrees, haha!

I must say I like them both...but my favourite shots are of her on the street in that gorgeous Burberry, or the tulle bustier gown with the abstract-ish background. In my book, Marion is always beautiful.

That WSJ cover is just stunning and all of the fashions are to die for! Marion Cotillard is an amazing actress and she makes one amazing model as well.
That gold dress you inquired about is a Salvatore Ferragamo. If I get to see Matt Bomer again, I'll try to coax him into a box so that I can post him to you ;-)
